Dpm 2010 and ws2012r2 hyper-v

Hi i have dpm 2010 and new ws2012r2 hyper-v. I get the error replica is not consistency. I get error id104 unknow error 0x80041010.
ok i found out that dpm 2010 dont support ws2012r2.
is there a fix or anything i can use dpm on ws2012r2hyper-v?Or need i install agents into vm becase the os of vm are 2008r2.

Hi,
That is correct - only DPM 2012 R2 can protect Windows 2012 R2 workloads. I would recommend setting up a dedicated DPM 2012 R2 server to protect the Hyper-V guests. If that is not doable, then yes, you can protect the guest workloads directly
by installing DPM 2010 agents inside the guests.

DPM 2010 not recognizing space on new disk in storage pool

We are running DPM 2010 and added one iSCSI drive with over 7 TB to the storage pool. When creating a new protection group, DPM throws the error "insufficient disk space". I'm new to DPM and none of my research has shown a reason for this error.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Hi,
Start the DPM power shell - then run these series of command, then copy / paste the

VM Protection running on Hyper-V 2012 R2 with DPM 2010

Hi everyone,
We recently setup a new Hyper-V 2012 R2 server hosting virtual machine running with a Win2012 R2 server OS and 2008R2 standard Edition
Our backup solution is still running DPM 2010.
As I understand from the DPM Protection Support Matrix, You can only protect virtual machine running on a hyper-v server under Windows 2012 R2 OS with DPM 2012 R2. Isn't there possible any walkaround to have the vm protection working on dpm2010?
Otherwise, if we choose to protect the VM at guest level instead of host-level, is DPM able to perform the recovery point?
For instance, we've got a VM running a SQL database. We would like specifically to back up that SQL database running on that virtual machine.Is DPM able to perfom that job?
Regards,
Evan

Hi,
To remain in a supported configuration you need to a DPM 2012 R2 server to protect the Windows 2012 R2 hyper-v server. Unfortunately, the path to get there from DPM 2012 is not an easy one.
Upgrade steps.

VSS snapshots for DPM 2010 Hyper-V backup conflict with SQL backup on a virtual SQL server

We currently use DPM 2010 to backup our virtual servers which reside on a 5 node Hyper-V clustered share volume. DPM uses the hardware VSS writer to backup the Hyper-V guests. Several of these Hyper-V guests are SQL servers (SQL 2008) and they
are all configured to run point in time SQL backups using SQL Management Plans.
The SQL backups are scheduled to run a full database backup on a Friday and differential backups on the other days of the week. Transaction backups are scheduled to run several times throughout the day.
However we have recently discovered that there is a conflict between these two methods as it seems as though when a restore is required using a differential SQL backup, it fails as the snapshot created by DPM forces SQL to believe it has had a full backup
carried out externally from the Management Plan and is therefore unable to perform the restore.
DPM backs up the Hyper-V guests on a daily basis from 8pm.
Can anyone provide any advice or guidance on this as we need both types of backup to run successfully. We are required to backup SQL with point in time backups and we also need to protect the Hyper-V guests in their entirety.

Thanks Mike,
I have tried this but unfortunately it has no effect. The VM has Oracle installed (although not the Oracle VSS Writer). It is the Oracle application server, not the database server, and the customer has a script that is used to stop and start
the Oracle application when required. Through troubleshooting this with them I have noticed that after the WLS_Reports service/process is stopped the backups run successfully but when it is running the backups fail.
I have also noticed that when I stop the Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor the backup runs successfully, which I guess is as expected.
When the backups fail I get 2 errors in the application log:
Event Id 12293, VSS - Error calling a routine on a shadow copy provider {GUID for the Hyper-V IC Software Shadow Copy Provider}. Routine details PreFinalCommitSnapshots ({GUID}, 5) [hr = 0x800705b4, This operation returned because
the timeout period expired.]
Event Id 19, vmicvss - Not all the shadow volumes arrived in the guest operating system.
This is also part of the same problem I have posted here: Backup
fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed

DPM 2010 System Drive and System State backup times increased dramatically

Using DPM 2010 to backup several computers, hypervisors, and the DPM server it self, a stand alone server all of a sudden no longer backs-up within a reasonable amount of time. This is just happening on the C drive and System State. The D drive and all other
servers and hypervisors are running smoothly. You can see below that something changed on December 11th. Backups for those two items when from about an hour to over 10 hours each. This is causing all other backups that have yet to run to be canceled because
we do not typically like the backups to run during business hours.
No changes to the server had been made. Updates were not applied to that server until December 18th. The server has been restarted. The agent version is the latest v3.0.7706.0. Ran the command "vssadmin list writers", show no errors. Any insight
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I updated the exclusions based on the following article using the executables and path listed in TechNet article above but to no avail. Verified AV policy applied.
https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68701
Will have to figure out how to disable AV during backups and enable after completions.
Will probably write a PowerShell script for this.

DPM 2012 SP1 - Protecting Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 at the same time

Hi,
From which Exchange Server am I commited to copy the ESEUTIL.exe and ESE.dll to the DPM Directory for protecting the whole Exchange databases from both products (2010 and 2013) ?
Thanks for replies.
Regards
Phil

The visual c++ libraries actually need to be installed on the Exchange 2013 server.
To protect Exchange 2013 with DPM SP1, in addition to copying the ese.dll
and eseutil.exe files to the DPM
bin folder, you also need to install the
Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1(vcredist) on your Exchange server. You can download it from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/ details.aspx?id=30679
Installing vcredist on your Exchange server loads components of Visual C++ libraries. The Visual C++ libraries are needed when an application that was developed using Visual Studio 2012
is installed on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Without Visual Studio 2012 or the Visual C++ libraries, you will run into errors trying to protect Exchange 2013.
Let us know if it works after doing this.
NOTE: The Exchange 2013 ese.dll and eseutil.exe files will cover Exchange 2010 also.

DPM 2010 Short and Long Term goals

My question is related to size restrictions.
Our existing DPM 2010 is setup with two protections groups, System State, and a Default (file) protection group. Both are set up the same. A co worker recently had to re-create a protection group due to his negligence and deleted it without looking at how
it was setup in the first place, since then I've been having errors in backing up to tape:
Synchronization frequency is set to just before recovery point
Short term goals are:
Recovery points are at 8:00 AM, 12:00PM, 6:00PM Everyday, Express Full is 8:00PM Everyday
Long term goals are:
Retention range 2 weeks, Frequency Weekly (1 recovery point every 1 week for the last 2 weeks)
Full backups are set to Saturday at 11:00 PM
Here's the thing, we have 3x3TB external drives that, historically have been swapped out weekly (Monday mornings, using Firestreamer for tape emulation). Since the co-worker broke, and re-created the protection groups, when we view DPM Console on Monday
morning, we see that the backup jobs are failing, the 3TB drive is full.
Could this 3TB drive be full due to this weekly swapping out when it is set to a retention range of 2 weeks? Obviously, it could be because the protection group actually contains that much data, but I'm trying to wrap my head around sync frequency, recovery
points and how that works into recovery goals.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Right. After the registry key is added, all new recovery points written to tape will show they expire at midnight (12:00am) on they day they expire so any tape jobs that run later that day will be able to use that tape after the expiry
date.
To prevent tape jobs from failing because there are no tapes available, you can also add this registry value.
During a new tape backup or if a tape becomes full and there are no other tapes marked free, Free (contains data) or expired in the library, DPM will raise an alert to prompt for another free tape to continue backup. The same is true during a
restore, if the needed tape is not in the library an alert will be raised. By Default, DPM It will wait for
1 hour before failing the job.
This prompting timeout can be configured by the registry entry “PromptingTimeOut” under “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\1.0\Prompting”
PromptingTimeOut:REG_Dword:43200000 (dec) = 12hrs
The Formula is (#hrs * 1000 * 60 * 60)
1HR = 1*1000*60*60 = 3600000 decimal
So for each hour to wait, multiply by 3600000.
8hrs = 28800000 decimal
Restart the DPMRA service.

Exchange email not syncing with Outlook 2010 and Z10

Hi all,
I've just set up my work email's to sync with my BB Z10. This all works fine and I'm getting the emails on my phone. But when I read an email from my phone, it does not get read in Outlook. When I delete an email on my phone, it does not get deleted in Outlook. Vice versa. If I read and delete emails in Outlook, they do not get read or deleted on my phone. This is rather frustrating as the whole point of syncing emails is to be able to have full control away from the office. I've got Delete on Handheld and Server on yet they are not deleting on Handheld and Server. These settings work fine for my personal accounts but just not on my Exchange account. Initially when I deleted a load of messages from my phone I got the following message 'Email messages will be removed from the BlackBerry Hub but will remain on the server'. Can I turn this option off? Also why is it coming up with this even though I have Delete on Handheld and Server on.
Thanks in advance,
Rajan

DPM 2010 Shell Cmdlets usage leading to Powershell crash

Hi all,
I have 71 DPM 2010 servers located at various places in the world. The most of them have a good and reliable network connection while some of them are connected via Sat-Link. All of my DPM 2010 servers have the same version, and are all running in identical
W2K8 Servers with Powershell 3 installed on them. I've made a script to inventorize Datasource Replica disk usage/allocation, shadow volume disk usage/allocation and the number of recovery points, their size. The goal of this script is to do the job that DPM
2010 should normaly do, for instance, deleting recovery points above retention date because it is not always the case... File recovery points number grows to their maximum (64) and for system State (because there is no User recovery on these ressources) their
number can be above 100 and generally it's about 150...
The script is running well locally, but if I try yo run a single Get-Datasource from one of my servers targeting another server, sometimes it leads to a simple Powershell crash... I also tried an invoke-command as job it's the same, the job returns nothing
but it is marked as completed or sometimes as failed. This happens always on some server and on the other only sometimes...
I really don't understand where is the origin of this problem... As anyone encountered such behaviour ?
Thanks a lot in advance ;-)

I did not find a solution to my problem yet, but I solved a part of it...
The first of all "Powershell crash" was solved by issuing a Disconnect-DPMServer before each Get-DataSource...
The second problem solved was the fact that the Get-DataSource cmdlet required the parameter <DPMServer> to be fully in Uppercase...
The last problem remaining is the Invoke-command that continue to fail... Here is my code :
$DPMServerStatusList = @()

DPM 2010 - Getting errors when viewing reports

Microsoft DPM Forum,
I am getting the following error when attempting to view reports in DPM 2010:
An error occurred during client rendering.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DLS'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
Cannot open database "DPMDB" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'servername\DPMR$servername'.
This is occurring after I rebuilt the OS on the DPM server to resolve a "tape system disconnect" issue that plagued us since November of 2013.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Mike,
Thank you for that post. Yes, I saw that while I was researching a possible solution to the problem. No dice. However, I reached out to Prosenjit Kanjilal of the Microsoft DPM Support Team (as he was emailing me on our re-occurring issue
of Event ID: 15 errors - see other thread). He had me do the following:
Open SQL Studio and connect to the instance
Go to Security->Logins
Now Add 'servername\DPMR$servername' if it is not already added
I also had to add the
dbowner role to the DPMDB database under 'user mapping' for this specific user to actually resolve the issue. The user wasn't listed in the Logins in SQL Studio.
Thanks again!
Joe

DPM 2010 Scheduled Jobs Disappear rather than Run

I have a situation where I have a DPM server that appears to be functioning fine, but none of the scheduled jobs run. No errors are given, there are no Alerts, and there is nothing in the Event log (Application and System) which indicates a failure.
All my Protection Groups show a green tick to indicate that they are fine, but the last successful backup for all of them is Friday the 8th of February.
If I go to Monitoring and Jobs I see the jobs scheduled, but when the time comes for the job to run, it does not go into the "All jobs in progress", it just merely disappears, like thus:
And a few minutes later,
As you can see, the jobs disappear from the queue, and the total number of jobs decreases accordingly. These jobs do not go into any of the other 3 Statusses (Completed, Failed or In Progress), they just disappear without a trace.
There is some unallocated space, albeit not much (Used space: 21 155,05 GB Unallocated space: 469,16 GB). If space was an issue I would expect to see errors to indicate this.
DPM 2010 running version 3.0.8193.0 (hotfix rollup package 6) using remote instance of SQL 2008 which is functioning fine. I have tried stopping/starting the services, and even rebooted the server twice. The remote instance of SQL server is using
a domain account as its service account. There are no pending Windows updates, i.e. it is fully up-to-date.
The System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 Troubleshooting Guide (July 2010) does not show how to troubleshoot this particular probelm.
Does anybody know how to resolve this issue or which logs might help me troubleshoot it?

OK,
Did you change the SQL Agent user account ?
If so, DPM enters the SQL Agent account name into the registry and later we check that account each time the DPM engine launches. The internal interfaces to DPM are secured using this account so the account name needs to match the account the SQL Agent
is using.
Step 1
In the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup alter both
SqlAgentAccountName and SchedulerJobOwnerName keys to reflect the SQL Agent user account being used.
Step 2
Update DCOM launch and access permissions to match what was granted to the Microsoft$DPM$Acct account.

DPM 2010 installation failure (SQL-server Reporting Services Problem)

Hi everyone,
The last 2 days I have been trying to get DPM 2010 installed on a DC. I know this is not recommended, but for our company with the current setup it's the only way to do it.
I have been reading some Microsoft articles (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399416.aspx) about doing this but I fail to do so.
I have made all of the right service accounts (I guess) and am doing everything in the guide but still get the same error message over and over again:
Setup has detected that the installation of Reporting Services is not correctly configured or no instance of Reporting Services is linked to DPM2010 of SQL Server
I just can't get my head around it. This is the error message when I try to install DPM 2010 using an existing SQL-database which I have configured in the SQL 2008-server sp1 installation.
I have enclosed some screenshots so you could maybe check some things that are not correct? Hopefully we can get this issue resolved, because it's driving me crazy to be honest!
Physical server which is ADC and where I need to install SQL-server and DPM: VMBACKUP
The service account for DPM is: DPMSQLSvcsAcct
Also have another service account: DPMR$VMBACKUP
I have also enclosed the error log located in C:\DPMLogs\

DPM 2010 - 2012 Failure

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade to DPM to 2012 and keep getting an error on the SQl Server 2008 R2 section.
SQL is installed locally by DPM 2010 so i am not sure why its failing.
If I look at the logs and run the more information tab everything passes and there is no issues.
Anyone got any ideas
The SQL Server 2008 R2 installation failed. Review the SQL Server installation log file for failures, and then take the appropriate action.

Anyone got any ideas?
The SQl server doesn't report any issues and the system configuration check report passes everything :S
I am at a loss.
Where are the DPM 2012 installation log files stored?
I see a folder called c:\DPMLogs but there all old log files.

DPM 2010 agent install on W2k8 Domain Controller issue

Hey guys, so I'm having a problem getting DPM 2010 agents on my Windows 2008 domain controllers. For some reason the agent will not communicate with the dpm server after running the attach process. The process I go through to install (which is
working in my Dev environment) is
1) (on DC) Run manual agent install by running agent.exe file from ProtectionAgents folder on DPM server
2) (on DC) Run the setdpmserver command line to specify the DPM server
3) (on specified DPM server) Run Agent attach sequence from Agent tabs in DPM console which says successful, but when you return to agents view under "unprotected computers" I see error.
I've verified the tests that other users have posted on this forum including
PING, DCOM permissions, verifying that inbound rules are setup, tested SMB, tested RPC, and also uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Any ideas where to search next?

I checked the MSDPMCurr.errlog, but I'm not exactly sure how to look for the failures that relate to the DC. When I search for the netbios name of the DC, I can see failures, but I also see identical failures under other server names as well. Is there anything
specifically I should be looking for?
I am requesting turning off the integrated firewall for testing as well and am awaiting an answer.
I am attaching part of the log I was looking at.

Protection Agent failure error during backup to tape with DPM 2010.

DPM TechNet Forum,
We are experiencing an intermittent error when backing up to tape using DPM 2010 (with latest QFE roll-up applied).
"The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The device is not connected (0x8007048F))"
Any idea what could be causing this error?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Hi,
You can try to reproduce the problem outside of DPM using some external utilities. If you have more than one drive in the library, run the test against both drives simultaneously to simulate multiple backup jobs running. If you get an error
before the tape fills you can use net helpmsg errorcode to see what the error was.
Download the DPMerasetape.zip file from the following link and extract to c:\temp folder.

The utilities are not that user friendly, but here are the basics.
Always Stop DPMLA Service prior to running MCT.EXE Commands.
NET STOP DPMLA

MoveMedium : mct -m t N s\d N s\d N   [Where s/d means Slot or Drive and N is ZERO based].
Some Examples:
mct-x64 -m t 0 s 0 d 0    (Using transport-0, move media from slot-0 to drive-0)
mct-x64 -m t 0 d 0 s 0    (Using transport-0, move media from drive-0 to slot-0)
mct-x64 -m t 0 s 0 s 100 (Using transport-0, move media from slot-0 to slot-100)
mct-x64 -m t 0 d 0 d 1    (Using transport-0, move media from drive-0 to drive-1)
mct-x64 -m t 0 s 0 ie 0   (Using transport-0, move media from slot-0 to IEPort 0)
Once you move a tape into a drive, use mytape commands Loadtape, taperewind, locktape, Disable hardware compression, Set block size to 65536 (64K), writeforspanning.
You need the symbolic name for the tape drive you loaded media into - look in the DPM console by clicking the tape drive and look at the details for
\\.\tape########. use that in the following command.
